What kinds of doctors treat mesothelioma?
Oncologists treat cancer, and therefore, they treat mesothelioma. Oncologic surgeons, surgeons who specialize in cancer surgery, may be needed for your treatment if you are going to have surgery. You might even have surgery done by a thoracic oncologic surgeon - a surgeon specializing in cancer of the chest area.
If most of your treatment is going to be chemotherapy, it will probably be done by an oncologist.
If you need radiation therapy to help shrink the tumor or relieve symptoms, you will have a radiation oncologist, a radiologist (x-ray doctor) who specializes in treating cancer with radiation.
